The Cathedral of San Salvador's
Cathedral and next to Pilar Zaragoza is one of the symbols of the
city. Under its foundation is the old Roman forum Cesaraugusta. Later,
during the Muslim period on the same site was a mosque. Alfonso I the
Battler conquered Zaragoza in 1118 and already in 1121 the Cathedral
was dedicated. In 1140 the old mosque was demolished and construction
began on the Roman temple. Entries not completed until the thirteenth
century. Already in the fourteenth century the dome is finished and
built the so-called Wall Mudejar. Transformations and extensions
continued until 1764, built the present main facade |
Recently, the
cathedral has been closed for 18 long years in which it proceeded to
its restoration. Happens that many were unaware of their Cathedral
Zaragoza when the Kings in 1998 inaugurated again.
Seo is the story of Zaragoza and the Aragon Crown. Its walls have
witnessed the coronations of Kings and its current appearance is
spectacular. The combination of style and beauty of the set are
incomparable. El Pilar keep to the Virgin, but in beauty surpasses La
Seo per thousand |
